Sparkling Apple Pie Cocktail

It’s almost the weekend and I have a delicious little cocktail to celebrate . This delicious sparkling apple pie cocktail will become a seasonal favourite. It includes the delicious taste of apple and cinnamon.
I first tasted this little cocktail at a business dinner party last fall and had forgotten how yummy it was until I made it again for this post.

Funny story: I had gone to the grocery store and forgot to pick up some ciders so I mentioned to hubby how problematic it will look when I go to the grocery store at 8:00 am to buy ciders. Ha.
Hubby and I ended up going minutes before the store closed and the funny thing was, that the only people in line was myself and some other dude and both of us were just buying alcohol. lol

Ingredients:
4 oz of cider or apple juice
4 oz of champagne or sparkling wine
Ground cinnamon for garnish
Sugar for garnish
Apple slice or cinnamon stick for garnish
(the original recipe called for cinnamon whiskey but I find it a little too ‘punchy’ )

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together a 3:2 ratio and place on a shallow dish.
Wet the rim of your glass with a wedge of lemon or lime and dip glass in cinnamon/sugar mix.

In a shaker cup mix champagne, cider and ice. Shake well and pour into glass.
Decorate with cinnamon stick or apple wedge and enjoy.

As you can tell, I enjoyed taking photos of my apple branch.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a beautiful weekend.
